I need to find out if an object is a class. Using new style classes
this is very easy:
class Test(object): pass
obj = Test
or
obj = Test()
if type(obj) == type:
# this is a class object..
else:
# this not a class object
But this fails for old style classes. For example:
class OldStyleObject: pass
>>> type(OldStyleObject)
<type 'classobj'>
But I have no way of comparing the return value to anything:
>>> type(OldStyleObject) == classobj
Error, classobj not defined!
Since this is all duck typed, I have no idea what the class will be
passed in as, so I can't just compare the raw object. I have a
solution for this:
if str(type(Test)).find('classobj') != -1:
# this is a class object
Which is quite simply awful...does anyone know of a better way to do
this?
